The Last Take-Out Supper
Jesus agreed to send out for Chinese.
Styrofoam containers were placed before
the Disciples. All received two egg rols.
Mark taught Luke how to work the chopsticks.
James overturned his hot and sour soup.
Matthew and John each got one wonton.
Thomas wouldn’t share his mu-shoo pork
As typically happens, the rice was cold,
the tea boiling hot. Simon burned his tongue.
Jesus made brief remarks about the future.
Peter received a fortune but no cookie.
Judas got a cookie without a fortune.
Outside, the soldiers marched past unheard -
often the case when one is having fun.
- - - Stephen Dobyns from Mystery, So Long

“ The theme of luck brings us back to the main point: Anyone who appreciates big cities should always love Chicago, but best of luck to Rio.
From the same post; my apologies, but James Fallows is good enough to deserve a few quotes in a row. Olympic notes: good for Rio - James Fallows

“ Obama was in a no-win situation about his personal lobbying. The other candidate chiefs of state had also made personal pitches. If he hadn’t made the trip and Chicago lost, you can imagine today’s right-wing theme being: he didn’t care enough about his country even to try. (Probably because it’s not really his country. Now, if Kenya had been a finalist…) Since he did make the trip, the theme is: what a loser.

WordPress › Error: Davidville's Blog Edition
Semi awkward: The link to the official blog of Internet wunderkind and Tumblr Commander-in-Cheif David Karp’s company, Davidville is:
1. hosted on wordpress (i guess is is advertised as a blog and not a tumblog?)
2. expired
On the other hand, Tumblr and Senduit are so great that I can probably overlook this semi-faux pas
